Mercado de Ideas
The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan St. Louis is continuing our commitment to the economic development of the region through our new Mercado de Ideas/Market of Ideas initiative.
Similar in spirit to the popular reality T.V. series, “Shark Tank,” the Market of Ideas seeks to gather community leaders willing to invest in Hispanic-owned businesses across the metropolitan St. Louis area. The HCC has raised $210,000 in potential investment money for business owners/entrepreneurs to submit their business plan, pitch their idea and win a chance to receive funding and mentoring from private investors after accepting the agreed upon terms and conditions.
